Thanksgiving 1966 Few in the United States would deny the validity of the contention that Thanksgiving 1966 is a time for Thanks giving, the principal exceptions being those kin and friend of the men fighting in Viet Nam and the fighting men them selves. There are those with lesser prob lems, such as the football fans who find their teams with losing scores. The celebration of Thanksgiving, United States phenomenon, is associat ed with the Pilgrim fathers who, after many hardships, found their tranaries full for the winter season and who paus ed to give thanks to a higher being. Since World War II, this nation has regarded as one of its major piootems too-full granaries and efforts to cut the gluts have been high on the prioriiy lists of every national administration. Demo cratic or Republican. Now a State University (Raleigh) official, knowledgable as an educacur and agronomist, declares the day of sur plus has ended and is ended. He points to Ibc population explosion in this na- tion’alon^laii indicative of the end of the surplus problem. Fact is, there has never been a world food surplus, the problem being one of distribution. More succinctly, the so-called undeveloped nations, ..minus the productive equipment and skills to produce either sufficient foodstuffs or goods to trade therefor, continue to face the problems of starving millions. Thus far, efforts to increase produc tion of the have-not nations have been successful in degree but insufficient. The Aswan dam is designed to improve Egypt's lot. United States missions have and are working in many under-fed na tions all over the globe. Planned-econo my Russia remains grained-short. The United States may well be as thankful for an over-stocked granary as for any other of its many blessings this Thanksgiving 1966. Lawrence Luther Lohr Lawrence Luther Lohr was a native of Pennsylvania, son of a Lutheran min ister, educator, bobby historian, emin ent salesman. For a quarter century he sold school textbooks for Hareourt, Brace-World Publishing Company. A measure of his success in this field was a tribute from a competitor friend with another pub lishing company. Informed Mr. Lohr had retired recently to Kings Mountain, the competitor friend ejaculated, “Re tired my eye, be just sold a million and a half dollar contract! That’s the way I want to retire!” Indeed, Mr. Lohr continued to “keep his hand in” after becoming a Kings Mduntidn citizen, not only serv ing as a trouble-shooter in his com pany's sales department, but also doing a considerable amount of editing for content of textbooks his company pro jected publishing. Emblematic of his parentage, Mr. Lohr was an active Lutheran layman and practitioner of his faith. A friend remarkedr “I never heard him say any thing ill about ttiyonc.” Nor did the Herald. Mountain was benefitted by the years of Lawrence Lehr’s citizenship here- FmIItoI OI *66 Ns New Dictum Former - Governor Terry Sanford lias collected new.s headlines and favor- abie editorial comment recently w itli his call for local level government, state, county, and municipal, to share more (and their proper) responsibilities in 9^ providing services to citizens. Such an avenue, he contends, would improve the qiialiiy of services, provide them at less cost, and lessen the con- tiniung and inerca-ung calls on the fed eral establishment, much decried by m.anv. Mr. Sanford's dictum is not new. Adlai Stevenson phrased it succintly and graphically during his unsuccessful 1P52 ca.mipaign for president, when he pointed out nothing is really ■•free' from Washington. Sure, Mr. Stevenson declared, so.m.e of the dollars sent to Wa.snii'.gton rotuin, but like the owner cf the peker table, Washington, if nec essarily. pinches the pot for administra tive rentai. m-m I Dr. Charles .Moore, of Orovor. I presented the program at tlie I Lions club Tuesday night, show- I ing color films he .snapped wliile I on his tour of duty with the , 101st airborne. Dr. Moore’s ac- [ company ing discourse was botli : witty and facetiously graphic, [ but his hearers could not escape I the fact that the ViotnatTie.se war ' is among the dirtie.st ofdsiways- ! dirty wars. Even the youn.gslers are suspert. and Americ-an troops ; are waimetl not to get chummy ' with them on pains of a youth- 1 planted mine or bomb in a jeep i or compound. I. m-m ! One of Dr. Moore’s pictur<‘S I showed a U. S. observation plane wit’i U. S. pilot a:id Viet Narn ' ob.servor. The mission of the pilot j was to fly over Viet ?lam at 3000 i ^ icei. The observer's chore was to j ■ spot pockets of Viet Cong foi' fu- i I ture attention from group. !, air 1 land artillery. Dr. Moore said the ] ! observer's had proved good at j ' making ouieix decision.''. r\’en j For some good reason, Thanks-, giving reminds me of the Salva-- lion Army. Both are officially about a century old but of course thankfulness and organized de votion existed long before" ithis in many forms. The Pilgrim.s themselves who observed the . earliest thanksgiving on our shores hDcally, were much lilie {the Salvation Army in composi- ; tion, being a tight-knit, firmly I disciplined group of devout peo ple who were determined to win over adversity and evil. The lieritage-of the Pilgrims., is...our liberty; and if every army in the world were like the Salvation Army, ours would be a peaceful place of loving souls upon this earth. OFFER UNTO GOD THANKS6IVIN6 PSALMS 50.14 Viewpoints of Other Editors The Salvation Army was born on the streets of London and still lives in such places around the world. But instead of inciting riots, they hold prayer meetings and play the sweetest sacred music one can hear. General William Booth started the organ ization and set forth a simple, redeiMTiing religion based on self sacrifice for the salvation of oth- er.s. His successors have ruled with a firm if benevolent hand. Like sensible persons elsewhere, they disdain the idea that God is dead and give little heed to the current arguments among so- called theologians over the trivi al nicptic-s of roli.gion, but adhere to a plain faith in God himself, •which anyone can understand and appreciate.

There are many other samples. The Sanford dictum is noble and effort should be made to implement it. But in view of tjje reluctance of office holders at the local level to shoulder their responsibilities, only relative suc cess can be anticipated. There even are members of county welfare boards, where local dollar shares for the various programs range from 10 to 25 percent, who regard their chief duty as husbanding cash, when their principal duty is expenditure of dollars within the limits of the law.

Association officials contend hat laminated licenses bearing olored photographs of the licen- ice would reduce the sale of 11- |Uor to minors by 80 percent. It is their contention that •olored photography would stop 'irtually all reproduction of li- efises and provide true identifi cation of the licensees.
